🧙♀️Hey Battle Mages!
Here's a warm welcome you to this week's mage secrets. 💥Woots! We are down to 3 days : 14 HOURS to End to Season [EOS], the quest for glory is heated up for all Splinterlands warriors. I truly hope you are having fun fighting your way up the Leaderboard and already well seated in your preferred league🙂.
This post is my continuous attempt to explain how I approach the various kinds of Splinterlands battle rulesets. I have so far shared my approach to twenty seven (27) Rulesets, here's the last one on 
WANDS OUT and I have come to introduce you to another.
This is yet another interesting ruleset with a good number of conditional approaches. But, before I tell you all about it, there's plenty days left, so if you want to know other battle mages secrets and take part by sharing with us yours, simply visit 👉BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Weekly Challenge!
Splinterlands seeks to sharpen player skills by allowing us explore various strategies via rulesets. I have tried to study a few cards especially with the newly introduced rulesets, giving one more reasons to know what cards strongly suits them.
Before the start of any battle, each player is shown what ruleset is allowed in battle and it is extremely beneficial to read and strategize accordingly. The ruleset secret I will be sharing you to in this post is the 
WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU
WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU RULESET implies that ALL All Monsters have the Enrage ability.
With this in mind;
Players should note the increased Melee attack and Speed when damaged.
Monsters with Inspire will increase your melee attack; Demoralize will decrease your opponent's melee attack.
Also consider using Melee monsters with Sneak and opportunity in the back row if Mana allows it.
Not that bad, we all have the enrage ability but downside is that monsters lose the sneak and snipe ability of they have it. Well worry not because I have the perfect battle to demonstrate this and a possible lineup that works for low mana battles. How you react when every attack by your opponent enrages you twice the time😡 It's death Splinter time.
📜WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU & FOG OF WAR DUEL: A DEEP DIVE INTO MY STRATEGIC LINEUP📜
| RULE SET |  |
|---|---|
| STANDARD | MODIFICATIONS TO THE RULES AND MECHANICS |
| MANA CAPACITY | 15 |
| AVAILABLE ELEMENT | only Water🌊, Life🌬, Death☠️ and Dragon🐉 elements allowed |
This was a low mana cap battle with the FOG OF WAR and spotlight ruleset WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU.
😕I picked MAGI MECROSI but the fog of war ruleset means he lost the Snipe ability, beautiful complication, but no worries, summoner DALLAN has a plan.
📌TIPS TO NOTE ABOUT THESE RULESETS:
FOG OF WAR : Monsters lose the Sneak and Snipe abilities. Hence, A good tank and a balanced line up of Magic monsters is the trick to win in this ruleset. Keep your monsters in an ascending order of their HP.
WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU : Previously known as SPREADING FURY. ALL monsters gain the Enrage ability. Monsters with Inspire will increase your melee attack; Demoralize will decrease your opponent's melee attack, while Snipe and Opportunity will do well at the back.
The battle line is drawn, but, I will quickly introduce you to my chosen Summoner and Monsters.
⚔️ TEAM LINE-UP & REASONS I ENGAGED THEM IN BATTLE ⚔️
☠️DALLAN - THE CRIPPLING SUMMONER
DALLAN is an epic card summoner from the Death Splinter. He is a Summoner who grants his team the Crippling
ability at a Low mana cost of 4.
I picked DALLAN because of his Crippling ability which will help my team outlast my opponent in battle and deplete their health faster. The Fog of war ruleset already renders us helpless without sneak or snipe, I figured crippling my opponent so they lose max health each time.
☠️HAUNTED SPIRIT - THE MELEE ASSAULT
HAUNTED SPIRIT is one to go for when feeling less confident on what your enemy could possibly come at you with. It's 
Void ability reduces damage from magic attackers, and should it get hit by a magic attacker, it's 
Magic reflect does damage back. A monster with the 
ability to Heal it self each round.
I picked HAUNTED SPIRIT because it is a self Healing monster, hence, I envisaged that my Enemy will come at me with Brute force. This Monster will help me outlast the enemies monsters in battle. Also, pairing it up with DALLAN for the extra
Crippling ability, definitely makes undefeatable [or so I think😂]
☠️MAGI NECROSI - THE MAGIC OPPRESSOR
MAGI NECROSI is indeed a most powerful wizard, and he leads his team to victory with his amazing abilities. He 
Snipes at monsters with range, magic or no attack type at all, causing great damage to them, but unfortunately the Fog of War ruleset renders this useless. He then 
Camouflages making it difficult to attack him accept if placed in the front line of battle. A terrifying monster with the 
Oppress ability, causing him to deal double damage to enemies without attack.
I picked MAGI NECROSI foremost because of it's Camouflage and Oppress ability, because I envisaged that my Enemy will come at me with Magic or Ranged attackers[or so I thought😂]. This Monster will help me evade enemy lineup and destroying them one after the other. Also, pairing it up with DALLAN for the extra Crippling🔥
Without further ado, let us now enter the battleground.
💥 THE LEGENDARY BATTLE 💥
- The Enemy came at me with the Life element, Enemy-ALRIC STORMBRINGER as Summoner. Enemy-SEA MONSTER in first position, Enemy-ICE PIXIE in second position, Enemy-IGOR DARKSPEAR in third position, Enemy-TORRENT FIEND in fourth position, and finally Enemy-FURIOUS CHICKEN. Seeing what my opponent has picked was gave me a scare kinda. I really was wondering if I went the right route cause damn that Enemy-SEA MONSTER is fierce and more Melees. But DALLAN enabled my team monsters with the
Crippleability, while ENEMY-ALRIC STORMBRINGER gave his enemy monsters the extra+1 Magic buff.
LET'S 
All Enemy Target was focused on HAUNTED SPIRIT. As much as it Reflected back reduced damage, it couldn't hold front long enough and got killed.
I really got worried for MAGI NECROSI as it had no big tank, but I believed he was the right pick with and boom! ENEMY-SEA MONSTER took it's best shot, and MAGI NECROSI hit him hard -3💔
!☠️crippled and ENEMY-SEA MONSTER dead☠️!- ENEMY-ICE PIXIE steps forward, she deals a deadly spell cast on MAGI NECROSI which weakens it's health to 1, but no chance here, as MAGI NECROSI immediately deals her a stronger spell cast accompanied by crippling effect -1💔
!☠️crippled and ENEMY-ICE PIXIE dead☠️!- At this point the enemy has gotten weak, but can't rejoice yet as there was still 3 monsters which more health combined than mine. Before ENEMY-IGOR DARKSPEAR could get the chance, MAGI NECROSI deals a deadly spell doom!
!☠️crippled and ENEMY-IGRO DARKSPEAR dead☠️!- Like it wasn't enough, MAGI NECROSI has gained 6 speed point and at this point, it was a suicidal mission for the enemy. NECROSI gather's up courage, holding onto his last life time, goes on a deadly spell cast mission
!☠️crippled and ENEMY-TORRENT FIEND and ENEMY-FURIOUS CHICKEN both dead☠️!- 🎉FLAWLESS VICTORY!!!🎉
A RECAP ON WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU RULESET:
The WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU previously known as SPREADING FURY implies that ALL monsters gain the Enrage ability. Monsters with Inspire will increase in melee attack while Demoralize will decrease opponent's melee attack, also Snipe and Opportunity will do well at the back. Well this is for an idle situation, this ruleset can come in combo with another ruleset that makes it difficult to go this route? well then you have to re-strategize.
It was a amazing battle for me, I'd say, and I was pleasantly impressed by MAGI NECROSI's performance, because while it took numerous strikes, it's Crippling ability granted to him by summoner DALLAN really helped him in eliminating the opponent's monsters.
📌Strategy Tips:
If only WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU ruleset, then;
✅Prioritize Inspire: Focus on increasing your melee attack.
✅Prioritize Demoralize: Focus on decreasing your opponents melee attack.
But if in combination with a ruleset like FOG OF WAR, such as the case of this battle then;
✅Prioritize Healing: Team monsters with the Tank Heal should be at the forefront of your strategy. They can counteract the constant damage, High HP monsters will suffice.
✅Quick Elimination: Focus on eliminating your opponent's monsters quickly. The faster you can get rid of them, the better, hence Dallan's or monster with the crippling ability works 100%
That will be all about my battle with WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU as focus ruleset Thank you for stopping by😊
